How to Verify a License

SEARCH INSTRUCTIONS FOR LICENSE LOOKUP

You can look up the current status of California-licensed Dentist, Registered Dental Assistant or Registered Dental Assistant in Extended Functions. When you locate the name you are searching for, double-click on the name for more complete information. If there have been any final disciplinary actions against a licensee, that will be noted, and you will find a link to additional information about the enforcement action(s).

How to complete the search form:

Name

Last Name ONLY or Last AND First Name. Partial last names OR complete last names and partial first names may be used for a search. For example: A search on "jons" will result in a list that includes Jons, Jonson, and Jonsen. This is helpful if you are not sure of the exact spelling of a name. If you know the city or county, adding that information will narrow the search.
